Head Chef » Thornbury, Darebin Area - Potentially a good fit for a Senior Sous ready to step up into their first Head Chef role, or an experienced Head Chef looking for a steady kitchen to pour their energy into. About Rat Rat is a community-focused Thornbury café built on good produce, low waste, and a genuinely kind team culture. We cook seasonally, source thoughtfully, and try to run the kind of place that feels good to walk into — whether you’re a regular, a supplier, or part of the team. We’re growing steadily and are looking for a Head Chef to help guide the kitchen through its next chapter. About the Role This is a full-time, hands-on role of around 40 hours a week, all daytime shifts and finishing by 3.30pm (with the possibility of some Friday evenings down the track). We are open to the possibility of creating a four day working week (pro-rata), and happy to discuss other arrangements. You’ll lead a small three-person kitchen team. During the week you’ll often run solo shifts; on weekends you’ll work alongside another chef. As we continue to grow the business we will look at expanding the team and making sure that you have the support you need. It’s a role that suits someone confident, organised and happy to take ownership — but who also values collaboration. What You’ll Be Doing Leading the kitchen calmly and positively, setting the tone from the front Creating a respectful, upbeat environment where people feel supported Designing and delivering a rotating seasonal menu that’s thoughtful, generous and well executed Cooking food that’s well seasoned, consistent and suited to our neighbourhood Training and supporting a small team with patience and clarity Staying on top of ordering, suppliers and stock so the kitchen runs smoothly Managing food costs and wages responsibly, without losing the soul of the food Maintaining a clean, organised kitchen that’s always food-safety ready We’re after someone steady, kind and quietly confident, who takes pride in their work and loves what they do. You enjoy mentoring others, understand that leadership is about tone as much as technique, and can run a service smoothly without ego or drama. Ideally you’ll bring: Some experience in a similar role A strong palate and a good eye for simple, appealing plating Solid understanding of modern café cooking Confidence with food safety and stock systems A calm, solutions-focused approach when things get busy Apply online, or email [email protected] with any questions • Thu, 17 Sep • Rat the Cafe

Head Chef » Fitzroy North, Yarra Area - We're looking for a Head Chef in Fitzroy North! Take on a great venue, a solid team, and a big summer. $85-100k super. The Pinnacle is a proper Melbourne pub — busy, well run, and built on doing the simple things exceptionally well. The kitchen runs at volume and the standard stays high. The team is tight, and the people here take genuine pride in what leaves the pass. With seven days trade, and a tight-knit team, it's a hands-on kitchen and a close one. We're looking for a working Head Chef to take full ownership of the kitchen: the food, the team, the numbers and the standards. They set the menu, build and lead the back of house team, hold food quality and safety, and deliver the kitchen's contribution to the venue's financial performance. This is a working Head Chef role — close to the pass rather than administrative — but the accountability is complete. The food, the team, the numbers and the standards all sit here The Role: The food - Menu development and direction, quality and consistency, specs and recipe cards, supplier and product decisions. The team - Hiring, training and developing your brigade. Clear communication, real accountability, and a kitchen people want to stay in. The numbers - Food cost and gross profit to target, labour managed through the roster, ordering, stock and waste. The standards - Food safety, compliance, prep done before service, sections set, the pass moving without a scramble. The relationship with the floor - Working with the General Manager and FOH so the venue runs as one operation, not two. What we're looking for: You've led a high-volume kitchen and you know consistency is a discipline, not luck. You run tight food and labour costs without letting quality slip. You're calm under pressure, direct with your team, and you lead by example on punctuality, prep and presentation. Specifically: Proven experience as a Head Chef, or as a Sous Chef ready to step up, in a venue of comparable standard and volume Demonstrated ownership of food cost, gross profit and labour Confidence building rosters to a labour budget and to staff entitlements A real track record of developing chefs — people who stayed and progressed Trade qualification in commercial cookery or equivalent experience Food Safety Supervisor certification, or the ability to obtain it before you start Full working rights in Australia What good looks like at six months: Food and labour percentages hitting target month on month, not in a single strong month The food going out to the same standard on services you don't work Your brigade stable and developing, with the next leaders coming from inside it Why this role: This is a kitchen you'll genuinely run, in a venue that backs its leaders. You'll have full autonomy over the food and the team, an owner who is engaged rather than absent, and a management team that invests in the people leading its venues. How to apply: Apply through Seek, or send your CV and a short cover note to [email protected]. Tell us who you are, what you've built, and why The Pinnacle. We're not after a cover letter that mirrors this ad back at us — we want to hear your voice. • Wed, 16 Sep • The Pinnacle
